.........i've heard it's actually a pretty good work out. I think it would be fun to like go down a river or something, not just paddle around a lake.
SUPing was not meant to be done in calm bodies of water. It's a derivative of surfing. You have to ride the waves to get the full experience. Do yourself a favor and hit a beach with some gentle waves and ride a few in (just stay clear of surfers because that big board, if uncontrolled, can cause a lot of damage).
Catching waves is easier in an SUP -- longer board plus the paddle gives you more propulsion. You can get more rides on an SUP than on a standard longboard.
I brought out my short board last Saturday because the waves were finally breaking on the Cape. There was an SUP in the lineup. That guy got more and longer rides than me.
This thread would be a lot more boring if the girl on the right was seated in a kayak.
The Cape Cod Bay challenge blows my mind. You've got to be missing a few screws to want to SUP 34 miles from Plymouth to Wellfleet.

I dunno, seems pretty cool to me. It's still paddeboarding, which I think is fun. There are limits though. Like the Bigfoot 200 mile run. I like running but 200 miles for one race is too much for me. But, to each their own.
